If you win today's jackpot and live in a state that doesn't tax the lottery and you are generous to a fault, you can give every member on LP $1,813.9

Total win $428,311,045 LP members 236,121 = $1813.9

Besides Kate and Todd, everyone else has a crazy name so that idea won't work - back to studio

Nah nah nah, you should make a substantial donation however way you win as long as you are a member here let's not cut corners

Check item #11.

11. If you win the jackpot, consult a good accountant and tax attorney for ways to minimize your tax liability before you claim the prize. Also consider donating a substantial amount to the owner of this website, because he gave you such great advice when you needed it most.

TheMeatman2005 — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 21:57:16 GMT

Besides the quick pick tickets I purchased, I used the Quick Picks Generator on Lottery Post.

Don't worry Kate and Todd, If I win with the numbers from the QPG I will make a sizable gift to you both

ShagE3 — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 21:36:05 GMT

Hi Eddie,

Yes count me in id love to donate to your cause... what am I donating for .... a heart or brain transplant or a combo thereof

Rigged50 — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 21:24:08 GMT

Hello, this is Eddie Tipton,

I would like to thank you all for donating participating in the Powerball during this historic run up to this awesome jackpot. Rest assured the drawing will be handled with the utmost care and honesty. Enjoy the rest of your day and remember you can't win unless you give money to me play the game. Good luck to me

Comment #45

JustMaybe — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 21:05:52 GMT

Well, well, well.

I have my ticket ready.

If I win tonight, I will wait till the first week of January 2024 to claim my winning.

That way I will have 15 extra months to invest the additional taxes of $88,336,955 that will be due at tax filing time in very safe Treasury Bills.

Am squeezing every penny out of the winnings.

I wish us all luck

The ticket I bought this morning says $679.8 million cash.

Comment #43

HumanBlade666 — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 18:46:18 GMT

I won roughly 100.00 on Saturday night drawing for powerball. I usually do 5 plays with powerplay. For tonight's drawing I will do my usual 5 and an extra 5 with powerplay added. Best of luck to all who play on this website

Comment #42

Ridley — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 17:14:54 GMT

By all means go for the Maserati, but you might want to hang onto the Honda for when you want to move around anonymously.

I'm in tonight with 10 quick picks which I picked up on the other side of the state line. I normally limit myself to 4 or 5 lines, but had just won $100 playing PB on Saturday and thought, Why notr? Here's hoping.

wander73 — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 17:10:22 GMT

$1.75 maybe $1.8 sounds about right. I think i can see what they're doing.

I was told that the cash value is around $614 million. trump bday is 614. hhhmmm.

EnReval — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 15:28:27 GMT

Spent $10 more this morning

am ashamed of myself but worked as one more numbers

hate game of chance, that's why going to Vegas in November for 60th lol, yes I said it!

Want to retire a lil early

Comment #36

ShagE3 — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 14:10:49 GMT

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and boldly state that I believe if no tickets match the numbers drawn for tonight's powerball there won't be a winner and the pot will roll to Wednesday.

Comment #35

hearsetrax — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 10:19:34 GMT

LOL @ Enreval

for me .......

it'd be all about finding that nice up sized cubby hole,the hand full of toys and etc etc

best of luck to all of us here and heres to not spreading the wealth any farther than necessary

Comment #34

JustMaybe — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 04:53:08 GMT

When you look at the spread of the second prize winners and the many other winners in the other tiers.

Someone still tries to convince themselves that this is rigged?

Wow, that's a lot of effort.

Comment #33

EnReval — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 01:53:17 GMT

Hah

my story, I was playing 4 nbrs and 1 day the QP gave me the 4 nbrs back n keep playing the same 6 nbrs for 24 yrs

not gonna lie, $$ will change me

not for the worst but will be more private w/funds what I do

nobody gonna tell me what house, car etc to buy

no frivolous investments, don't ask, I just want peace

ShagE3 — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 00:09:06 GMT

If no one wins the jackpot Monday ..... I predict Wednesdays jackpot to be $1,777,555,333.27.

But hey, I could be proved wrong.

And on a different subject ... I think transparency is key ... so the presenter should call the numbers in the nude ..... I simply don't trust them

hsg2000 — Sun, 08 Oct 2023 23:45:26 GMT

I feel it maybe on Wednesday we will have a winner to an $1.7 B PB Jackpot

Thank you.

Gee, hope they don't get a crazy idea and go RNG the whole way.

Comment #28

ShagE3 — Sun, 08 Oct 2023 23:29:02 GMT

All things being equal ie PB MM having the same jackpot .... if you could only afford one combo would you choose a PB ticket and a philly stk or a MM ticket and a hot pastrami?

Be honest folks

You didn't see them draw The PowerPlay number because it's done by computer software. G5

JustMaybe — Sun, 08 Oct 2023 21:56:48 GMT

I have my story, just polishing on the finer details, it goes something like this.

I ran out of gas on my way to see and console a friend who just lost their pet rabbit, it was swooped by an eagle while running around on the backyard, I pulled into a gas station to fill my tank. While there I saw the jackpot amount and it said 1.5B. It's been 1 year and 5 months since I last played any lottery, that's 1.5 years. I thought, this must be a sign from the universe, so how about I just grab a pow... [ More ]

TheGameGrl — Sun, 08 Oct 2023 21:37:27 GMT

I suspect the winner will have done one or more of the following:.

1: had just stopped in to pick up milk and saw the jackpot amount, bought one.

2: Had a dream where a deceased relative spoke the winning combo so they had to play it.

3: just lost their job, or their home . And lo and behold they had two dollars and a prayer.

4: The ' office pool' of 40 ppl finally hit the big one ! But they will continue to work ...because money won't change them.

5: the winner was just p... [ More ]

So is this gonna rollover

Comment #20

ShagE3 — Sun, 08 Oct 2023 17:35:55 GMT

Philosophy: Taming a tiger is much easier than winning powerball but, would you rather be eaten by the tiger or lose a winning ticket?

Would you rather win a huge jackpot and die the next day or lose everytime but be married to a former 1st lady, senator and sec of st ?

ShagE3 — Sun, 08 Oct 2023 16:17:41 GMT

Something to ponder:

G Washington was our 1st president

A Lincoln was from Illinois

Ronald Reagan was married twice

Jimmy Carter was a peanut farmer

What I'm trying to convey is ......

I think I'm gonna win the powerball jackpot Monday night!

And if I don't win it .... let it be me or myself

PU! Who ordered the liver and onions

Perhaps a little sleepy, IDK. Just watched for the first time the drawing from last night.

Maybe I missed it though watched it three X, where do they get the Powerplay number from? I thought there was another machine with balls flying around??? Wake me up LP members

The jackpot has been growing since it started on July 22 as a $20 million prize now 34 consecutive drawings without a winner.

34 continuous drawings, no jackpot winner! started July 22nd, now into the 3rd month!

more and more 2nd place and 3rd place prize winners and the rest. Which means millions more players. I wonder what was the total spent for last night Powerball.

CDanaT — Sun, 08 Oct 2023 12:24:36 GMT

2 numbers correct on 1 line( 47 60).... big sigh ...Onward and upward we go

Cash Value take home after Fed Taxes : $428 Million ( and change)

Good luck to all that are participating on Monday.

Asked Alexa @ 0100 for the #'s and said to myself no way anybody won. She wouldn't give me an updated jackpot @ that hour. Now @ 0400 she's still not up to date.

Thanks Todd for posting the standings so early in the a.m.

Well well well...

I knew there wasn't gonna be a winner last night when I didn't feel like eating my deviled ham, onion, yellow mustard on wonder bread sandwich.

Boy, I'm getting powerball fatigue.

I usually buy one ticket w/ powerplay for every 100 million on the annuity but $$$ lost are adding up so I might base my buying formula next time on the cash value instead.
